setTimer is doing weird

[Puma]

This works:

    setTimer(function () removeEventHandler("onClientRender", getRootElement(), clientRenderLogo) end, 5000, 1) 

This doesn't:

    setTimer(removeEventHandler, 5000, 1, "onClientRender", getRootElement(), clientRenderLogo) 

Why doesn't the second way work?

A friend had the same problem o_o, maybe it's a bug?

i think that the 1° works just because the timer need the

function () ....... end 

and you can't insert just

removeEventHandler 

but you must connect a function writed by you, not a function like

removeEventHandler 

.

What?

What?

omg

setTimer needs the function and it's all fine about that. function() ... end is a function definition, while removeEventHandler is a variable which holds the function. I see where the real problem may be. If the function clientRenderLogo is defined after the timer is created, then it means that nil value was used as a parameter for removeEventHandler. So you need to move setTimer after the function definition. But if it's already done in this way, I don't know what is the problem.
